Last weekend, while hanging out on the Oregon coast, I was suddenly overcome with the desire to consume a kalimotxo in the sand, but in no way wished to bring a wine glass to the beach. So, rather than get a red Solo cup involved, I dumped out about half a can of Coke—setting it aside for later use—and filled that now free space with red wine.

Not only did I then have a beverage contained in a lightweight, shatter-proof vessel; I also had a beverage that looked completely innocent. But the kalimotxo isn’t the only cocktail you can build in a can. Rum & Cokes, whiskey gingers, and 7 & 7's are all obvious options, but you should probably get seltzer in on the game too. I, for one, am a huge fan of Campari and gin with pamplemousse La Croix, and have recently found a new friend in Polar’s Tart Cherry Limeade with a bit of bourbon.
